Ep 5 - Scoliosis is a Superpower

  • Summary

  • For some, a diagnosis of scoliosis may limit the types of activities one can do. For others, a curved or rotated spine propels them to make amazing positive influences on the world. Beth Terranova, PT, DPT is one of those who, even while living with scoliosis, has competed in Olympic-style weightlifting. She joins the Inherited Wellness podcast to share her experience with scoliosis and journey to become a scoliosis-specific physical therapist (1:52). She walks us through the different types of scoliosis (12:52), how scoliosis influences families (24:27), how to navigate a diagnosis of scoliosis (29:49), and more about empowering ourselves and others, even with scoliosis.
